Which shock/spring combination did you go with?

Here's a little updated.. Went ahead and got the light bar installed atop my Gobi Rack. Fits like a charm. Didn't want to mess up any electronics so I called my Mercedes dealer and they referred me to a custom auto shop that they send all of their aftermarket work to. I'm very happy with the...

Thank you! Got my light bar in today, going to try to wire it up this weekend!

Just got my light bar in today, going to try to get it on later this weekend! Thank you!!

What about running the wire into the cockpit? Is it easy to get the wires through the fire wall/did you mount a switch inside?

Which shops did you talk to? I normally talk with the Park Place Mercedes guys here in Texas. Wonder what those program charts were we had seen..? Surely there IS a way to do that. But yes, same with my G. Only works in 4LO.. Can you imagine how wild the trails would be in 4HI with the locks...

Hi Asutherl, I am looking to install a light bar to my roof rack very similar to how you did. Could you please provide me with some instructions on how you did yours? The wiring is the main thing I'm concerned about. The more info, the better. Thank you!

Hi All, In the next couple of weeks, I would like to get a light bar installed to my Gobi Roof Rack. Mounting to the rack shouldn't be an issue but wiring from the roof has me a little concerned. Has anyone done this before, if so, how did you accomplish the wiring? I'd like to have some type of...

Hi warrantchief, I have read on the site about a few people that have gotten this done. The issues they were weary of were the esp and the speedometer. For me, I have found that with the new tires, it goes 2mph faster than displayed. As for the esp, it hasn't been a big enough issue to cause...

Do you have any pictures of your G? Would love to see it with your tires and rack. similar to the build I'm going for!

Not sure if you ever found a solution but after looking around, I've found a G that had the two inner sensors of the bumper modded to fit just outside the bull bar leaving the inside area for a winch. It was only a picture but now reading some articles to see what the process would be like to...

I originally installed the rack without the wind deflector and took a test drive around the block. Anything above 15 mph or so had whistling and it progressed as speed did. However, after installing the wind deflector (the part that has "Gobi" on it) there is no wind noise AT ALL! I've taken a...

The ladder was included in the Gobi Stealth rack package. I installed the rack and ladder on my own with some assistance from a buddy holding the rack over the mounts to bolt on. It is mounted underneath the tail light and also four bolts connected to the roof rack. Extremely sturdy. Shaking the...

Not the best example but tested the clearance of the tires a bit No issue here. The angle might make it look like the front passenger tire is hitting the fender but it's not.
